Mercy Ships: A Letter from President & Founder, Don Stephens

Published Apr 29, 2011 12:51 PM by The Maritime Executive

Since arriving in Sierra Leone, our volunteer crew of doctors, nurses and support staff have:

  • Screened 2,218 dental patients at the clinic site and conducted 7257 procedures
  • Screened 1,789 eye patients and performed surgery on 76 patients
  • Performed 34 general surgery procedures
  • Performed 105 maxillo-facial surgeries
  • Performed orthopedic surgeries and procedures on 129 patients (already at 137% of expected outputs)

And this is just the 2nd month of our 10-month Field Service!

“Before and after” visuals of patients tell their stories without words. When you see the dramatic changes shown in our newest video, you will understand how powerful the transformation is in bringing hope to the hopeless.

We see these transformations every day and wanted to share the experience with you.  Watch the video below to view these amazing patient stories, told merely by expressive photographs. I hope they touch your heart the way they’ve touched mine.

Thank you for your part in transforming lives.                                                                                  

Mercy’s on its way,

                                              
Don Stephens
President and Founder
